what the hell is wrong with Germans that they don’t walk around reviewing their own language for bad puns in the English language.

Actually, HL Mencken and his brother used to ask the same kinds of
questions of their Deutchsprekening grandfather :
why if the German for cat was katz, why wasn’t the German for rat ratz.

My favorite translated English expression im Deutch:

“Affenmensch gefliegen auf meine Tisch.”

I took a picture of an Angerstrasse sign on a trip to Germany.

When I showed it two our German hosts, they remarked that it had never occurrred to them to parse the name in English as “Anger Street.” I then asked if they ever noticed that the city hall, where all the politicians worked, was called the “Rathaus” or Rat House. That hadn’t occurred to them either.

I want to know what the hell is wrong with Germans that they don’t walk around reviewing their own language for bad puns in the English language. You’d think they’d make that a priority. If American schools had the funding necessary to make American children fluent a language, I’m sure our kids would be hunting out English puns in Chinese or Farsi! Or maybe even English, if they taught that.

While traveling from Condom to Fucking, you might enjoy visiting Titz and Asse.

Pennsylvania: Gateway to Ohio.

Not for me. I’ll gladly take I-68 – I-79 – I-70 then ever be caught almost dead on the Pennsylvania turnpike again.

West Virginia, Mountain Mama (and Gateway to Ohio, for moi).

Years ago, Pennsylvania had a new slogan contest. Two of my favorites:
Virginia may be for lovers but only Pennsylvania has Intercourse.
Pennsylvania: Gateway to Ohio.

What I would like to see is Fucking twinned with Condom. That would be one in the eye for those wingnut abstainers.

Sorry to interrupt this thread with this, but… I just changed the format of this page and I can’t seem to get back to the original. That is, I switched from “white background” (at the upper-right) to “curved” or something and now I’m stuck here and I don’t like it. Tips welcome. Cheers.

Although, to be fair, if the Dems want to build their own hotel HQ, I suggest they start here.
